Simple question - will these fit a 2012 estate? Web site says the are for up to 2009 only. Did they change the rear Cluster on the fl model?

Thanks

They will fit. They only got rid of the integral red reflectors.The only question is if they may throw up a fault on dash warning . I think m0bov has a fl with no problems

05 - 09

Just the reflector changed.

It's a shame the company customer service is non-existent! I've contacted them twice now, once through their "contact us" online form and once via email directly. NO RESPONSE to either. Let's hope if you buy them they never go wrong!

Whoops, bit slow!

Thanks all. Very helpful as always!

I will wait to see if anyone knows about the error code before ordering.

Cheers

There is a set for the FL which comes with resistors for the sidelights. https://www.dectane....ed-crystal.html

When the headlights come on an error that flashes up on the info system saying check left sidelight/right side light. It goes away after a couple of seconds. There is a yellow bulb out warning on the dash when the lights are on. No warnings when lights are off.

I haven't bothered to put the resistors in as the yellow warning does not bother me too much and I didn't want to splice then wiring loom. (blade connectors for the resistors that stop the warnings).

Found them helpful when it came to fitting instructions, they translated into english for me...

Thanks TBM

Would the others throw up errors then?

No errors on mine. For the people with the errors have you fitted correctly. The side light connections can go either way but only work one way. Might be worth switching them around.

Is it as easy as unscrewing and unconnecting the old and connecting and screwing in the new? Which model did you go for? I presume the prices are for pair and not each?

Thanks

RSK03LBS.

2009 model. Plug and play so straight swap. First time I fitted I got the error light but switching the wires over solves it. The two tail lights either side will go either way (will make sense when you see it) but will only work one way.

Had a slight problem with the indicator LED but was just a collection issue. Dectane did come back they do have a two year warranty. Which is done by returning to supplier so pick someone easy to contact.

Some privacy glass needed here to complete the look!

All suppliers are in Germany though aren't they? Also isn't the 2012 model a little more sensitive than earlier models when it comes to showing errors on wiring/electrics etc?

Sorry for all the questions.

I thought later models appear to be more LED friendly than the ealier facelifts (see LED posts).

Yeah main supplier is in germany but amazon uk stock these. I got mine from a german supplier and they've returned emails when I did have the problem.

If you happen to be at Castle Combe at the end of the month I don't mind letting you test them on your car. Well along as its not chucking it down

Couldn't find any in stock on amazon UK. May come back in I guess.

Thanks for the really kind offer but won't be there at the end of the month sadly.
